Celebrate Coccadotts ‘Cupcake Wars’ tonight

Fans of cupcakery are welcome to gather this evening for a Coccadotts Cake Shop “Cupcake Wars” viewing party from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Holiday Inn, 205 Wolf Road in Colonie.

Bakery owners Rachel Cocca-Dott and Matt O’Connor are among the competitors on tonight’s episode of the Food Network show. The pair (who are contractually bound not to discuss whether or not they won the $10,000 top prize) traveled to California in the spring to take part in the episode. In May, a network crew was at the Central Avenue cake shop to shoot additional footage.

There will be two screens to watch the show on as well as 1,000 cupcakes courtesy of the would-be winners.

If you can’t make the party, you can catch the show – sans cupcake – at 8 p.m. on Food Network.
